THE GAZETTE. RISING FAWN, Thursday, i\ov. Olh, IH7. ( apt. John R. Wilder, of Savannah •na.i found dead in a hotel at Marietta, on* day last week. Jlis deatli i*V"tip potcd to have been’causcd lay a lit of ap poplexy. At the five blast furnaces along the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad I*2oo men are now employed, where but 300 were employed three months ago. The lion., Zaclt Chandler died last Saturday evening. He was in his usual health in the morning and died about four o’clock in the evening. By his death the republican party has lost one of its strongist associate. Gov. Colquitte has appointed the Railroad commissioner under the state law. They went to meet and organize last week, but from eome cause the failed to organize. It is thought that Marcellos Thornton of Greenback notoriety will be elected clerk for said commission. Mr. Win. Bradford, who has been connected with editorial department of the Cedartown Advertiser for some time has severed his connection with that paper as editor. Tn giving notice of his withdrawal, he fails to let 11s know who is the unfortunate individual that steps into his shoes. We hope the new editor will hold the Advertiser up to its present high standard. The election returns from the various states holding elections last Tuesday,up to this writing, are as follows: Cornell, rep., is elected governor of New York; the balance of the state ticket democrat ic. Massachusetts gone republican. In A irginia the debt paycis’ candidates are elected to the legislature. Connecticut allows a republican majority. Republi cans gain iu several states. So much for “splits” in the democratic ranks. Hon. A. H. Stephens says Gov. J.Ah brown is not to blmn for the retention of the Columbus prisoners in T8B8; that he accepted the position of prosecuting attorney simply to protect the prisoners, and that it was absolutely necessary for their good to keep the trial off tfiitil the legislature should act. If this i* true, and wc believe it is, Gov. Brown should be praised for his course in this respect, rather than abused. In speaking of the practice of gerry mandering, which of lite is indulged in bv both parties, the Atlanta Constitu tion says: The policy of gerrymandering is fully established in this country, its root* be ing deeply sunken in both parties. Ohio furnishes or soon will furnish the flight ful example. A short time ago the dem ocrats of that *t te, having control of all branches of the government, gerryman dered the congressional districts in their i itcrest, ami the first serious work of the new republican legislature will he to gerrymander these districts in their in terest. The next legislature will undo the work if it happens to !> democratic and the noble work will* go on an long as any party advantage is to lie gained from it. The stake played for each time is the practical disfranchisement of as many of the opposite party as the case w ill admit of. A I)ef and Dumb fiirl Talk* in her Sleep.—A singular story is told bv John Lather, of Dorsey county, Ark., in the columns of the Little Hock (Ja/.ette. He lias a daughter who suddenly lost her voice and hearing when she was a litlle girl some fifteen years ago. One night last week he was passing his daughter’s room, when'he heard a strange voice. Arousing his wife they crept noiselessly in. and with thrills of jov saw their dumb daughter was ta 1 kin in her sleep. The mother clasped the girl in her arms, but when awake she again losther voice, {since then site has been heard to talk aloud in her sleep, speaking genetaliv of the occurrences in the hsusohold o f the dar before. A deaf and dumb youth ©I the neighborhood, who has been looked U|H )n is the girl’s lover, was prostrated v it it grid upon hearing that hisgirl could talk. The ('enleiiial Ora tion orise 11. J* 11. Oonloii, Delivered OelC Contii!tied from last week. On this Centennial occasion, and In connection with the question of local government, it cannot be inappropriate, nor without profit, to remind you ol *ho three prims causes w hich led first to the colonial conflict with (lieat Britain: thsn to the peimansnt separation and independence of the colonies; amt filially to the foimatiou of a confederated Re public on this continent. < hie of the complaints of our fathers was the asser tion of the mother country of the right to tax without according to the colonies the right of representation. Another was the persistency of the mother coun try in stationing armies in onr midst in time of peace. The third was—and to this I ask your especial attention—the interference by the mother country with the local government or local affairs of colonies. Indeed, tlie whole history of the colonial controversy with Great Dri tain - for many years beforethe thought of separation had entered tlie minds or hearts of the colonists—is an argument for local government and against the concentration of power in one great cen tral government. In addition, the pro ceedings of the convention which adopted it, as well as the language of the Consti tution itself, furnish a similar pointed ar gument. The tenth amendment, reserv ing to the States all powers not express ly delegated to the General Government which stands to the Constitution like a posterior clause to a will explaining the meaning of the instrument, is also an ar gument against the centralism of power which was an object of so much dread to the farmers of the government- The language of the preamble to the resolu tion submitting the tenth amendment, is an argument, and an overwhelming ar gument; because it is declared in that preamble that this tenth amendment was submitted because the States desired to avoid a of the Constitu tion; because the States desired to pre vent an abuse of the powers of the Con stitution; and because the States desired additional “declaratory and ’estrictivej clauses” to that instrument. But apart from these considerations, I there is in the history of other nations enough to warn us of the danger of losing individual liberty while ssolingr <- in crease rhe national glory. The fa*c of the ancient republics and of the repub lic of France, and the doom which the great Gladstone fears may befall Eng- lish liberty, furnish argument* upon this subject which it becomes the American people to bear and to heed. All men love liberty—personal as well as politi cal liberty—but they do not always follow the processes of reason which lea 'I to a distinct comprehension of the meth ods Dy which liheity is preserved or lost There is in all people a principle of van ity which leads them to magnify their iiilividua! consequence by aggrandizing itlic extent, the power and the dominion of the country to which they belong; and the citizen is oftc los ill the expanding pomp snd splender of natiodal gieat rress. It was so with Greece. It vrai so with Rome. That once free republic passed under the yoke of her own impe •vval sceptic, auAhei people were enslaved riliile they watSed with eager gaz.e and proud satisfaction licreagles borne in tri umph over the civilized vvoild. It was so, too, with France. The re hellion of the American colonies had enlisted the sympathies and secured the active aid of France, the triumph of the triumph of the colonies had tilled the hearts of the French people with long ings tar freedom, and led them to beliead their Ding and proclaim a republic. But dazzled by the splendors of Fapo leon’s conquests, and the extension oi l the French empire over Europe, they | lost sight of their own liberties, and re pudiated the republic at the dictation of j their imperial master. It was so with great Britain. Through centuries of bloody conflict her people j bgd secured Magna t'harta, and estal*- 1 lished constitutional government yet in the mad purpose to increase an imag- i nary national importance, they sought : to subjugate their own brethren in Amor- i ica, who wcoo bound to them by kindiod | blood and loyal attachment; who, lik 0 ' themselves, were Englishmen, entitle! | to every prerogative of Britishreedotn;! w’ho, in their e.forts to preserve that j freedom; hod complained and petitioned and remonstrated until the univer c grew wcarv. But for the successful rcsist tanee of the colonies, that apostate gen eration of Kuglisnmcn, intoxicated by Hie vanity of aggrandizing Britain would have destroyed their own as well as our liberties bv the infinite follt of denvinil to Englishmen 111 America, the protection and rights guaranteed to them bv the English Constitution Are there cycles of sunshine and of shadow in the march of liftman events? Is liberty born to grow and flourish for a time, only to be lost in recurring sea sons of passion for natural dominion? Are wc, to, so soon to tire of liberty and grow weary of local self-government? Are wo to shut our eyes and close our ears to the teachings of nil history, and to follow* the blind passion of national grandeur, anil thus destroy the rights of the States, and with them the liberties of the people, in the vain effort to in crease the glory by centralizing the pow er of this great Republic? Lotus hope not. Lot us hope that the American peo ple will heed the voice which speaks to them in tones solemn warning horn the experience of all these nations. Let ns hope that the passions engendered by 041 calamitous civil war, and the di>trust toward the Hottth incident to that war, may not furnish the excuse, nn become potential agencies for the destruction of those principles of government for which Washington fought and Jasper died. Let me not be misunderstood. It is no part of my purpose to magnify undu ly the rights of the States, nor would our people deprive the General Govern ment of one right or power which the Constitution has Conferred. We believe that the most lasting national good, .as well as the greatest national strength sto oe attained by an unfaltering ndharr euco to the rights of the States on the one hand, and the fullest recognition ol all the prerogatives of the General Gov ernment on the other. In other words under our form of government, and with our vast territory and conflicting local interests, the grants and limitations o! tnc fundamental law must be recognized The Constitution must be the omnipo tent and sole arbiter, from which there is no appeal. Nor do I seek by reference to the South to detract in any degree from the credit due to ablo statesmen of the North for their brave defense of this colonial and constitutional doctrine of free, un trammeled local government. 1 do not claim for the South anv monopoly of< virtues comprehend in the terms potriot ism or Republicanism, 1 am not ol those lurV that love of country or fidelity to theSthinstitutian is boun ded bv State liaes or confined to sec tions.
